This course prepares the student in spiritual, practical, and technical aspects of the performing arts. With the goal of equipping Christian artists both in the context of local church ministry and service in the marketplace, it lays biblical foundations regarding the arts (biblical authority, reevaluating basic assumptions, reclaiming specific art forms, etc.) and delves into issues of the artist’s development in both character and skill. Topics may include: theatre arts, mime, dance, music and worship, songwriting and recording, improvisation, communication principles, lighting setup, technical management of the stage, acting technique and rehearsal, directing, set design, and scriptwriting.
